Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

"But—" Lena hadn't finished speaking when the call abruptly ended.

Lina turned to her and asked, "Was that Chris? Did he need something from you?"

Lena smiled and replied, "Oh, no. Wrong number."

She didn't care about any urgent matter Elijah might have, nor did she need that triple overtime pay.

It was the weekend, a statutory holiday, and Lina was having a prenatal check-up. Lena had to be there with her.

Her phone buzzed, and it was a message from Elijah with a location.

When Lena checked, she realized the location was actually the hospital. It surprised her.

Then another message arrived, with a much softer tone: [Lena, please help me out. My daughter is in the hospital, and I've reached out to you as a last resort. If I've offended you before, please forgive me.]

Lena clenched her hands. In her mind, she could faintly see the little princess holding her hand and calling her 'Madam'.

At that moment, a few nurses took Lina for the next examination.

Lena, separated by the door, asked softly, "Lina, Um... I have a friend in this hospital. Can I go say hello?"

"Oh, sure!" Lina said, "I don't need you here for now. Go and come back quickly!"

"Okay!" Lena agreed and headed to the pediatric department, which was conveniently located nearby, just down a flight of stairs and around a corner.

As she entered the corridor, her eyes fell upon Elijah, who appeared agitated with tousled hair and prominent dark circles under his eyes.

The pediatric department boasted a charming and inviting decor, but the sound of intense crying emanating from within was deeply unsettling.

Lena was startled and inquired, "What's happening?"
